244. Fort, Birkenside Hill.
This fort (fig. 120) is situated in cultivated land, at an elevation of some 790 feet above sea-level, at the top of a steep slope forming the east wall of the Leader valley, midway between Birkenside and Huntshaw. It appears to have been an elliptical earthwork surrounded by a rampart and trench, and measuring interiorly some 465 feet by 366 feet. The defences, except for a short distance on the south-south-west, are almost obliterated.
RCAHMS 1915, visited June 1910.
